Description: KMT Kennametal January 15, 2026

Kennametal Inc. (NYSE:KMT) designs, manufactures, and sells tungsten-carbide, ceramic, and other hard-material solutions worldwide through two primary segments: Metal Cutting and Infrastructure.

The Metal Cutting segment provides milling, hole-making, turning, threading, and tool-making systems for aerospace (airframes, aero-engines), automotive, truck, shipbuilding, and general industrial equipment. Products are marketed under the Kennametal, WIDIA, WIDIA Hanita, and WIDIA GTD brands via a direct sales force, independent and national distributors, integrated supplier channels, and digital platforms.

The Infrastructure segment produces engineered tungsten-carbide and ceramic components, earth-cutting tools, and metallurgical powders. Key applications include oil-&-gas and petrochemical drilling (frac seats, nozzles), underground mining and trenching equipment, high-temperature wear parts for aerospace/defense, and ceramic substrates for packaging metallization.

As of FY 2024, Kennametal reported $3.6 billion in revenue with an adjusted EBITDA margin of roughly 13%, reflecting strong demand in aerospace and mining while offset by volatility in oil-&-gas capital spending. The company’s exposure to the aerospace supply chain makes it sensitive to aircraft production cycles, whereas its mining tools benefit from the ongoing global push for copper and lithium extraction. Recent initiatives include expanding digital tooling services, which have contributed to a 4% YoY increase in recurring service revenue.
